Marculescu said lead scientist Jan-Anders Manson would be pool-side to ensure only approved suits are worn at the worlds.
Suits must be submitted ahead of the championships so they can be tagged before being returned. Swimmers will have their suits verified 20 minutes before a race.
Manson’s team will conduct a second round of tests later this year. FINA will create a shorter list to regulate race-ready suits that can be used from Jan. 1 next year.
